Since 1980, the Boston University Center for the Humanities has built a distinctive model for humanistic research, creative innovation, and collaboration across BU.

We support humanities scholars and students through fellowships, awards, and three initiatives:

  • Humanities Leadership Initiative (HLI)
    Professional development for students, faculty, and staff.
  • Humanizing the Digital (DHI)
    Critical engagement between digital technologies and the humanities.
  • Humanities in the World Initiative (HWI)
    International scholarship that sends BU faculty abroad and brings world-class scholars here.
